LGHT0001 Error: Hexadecimal Value 0x00, os an invalid character when adding an RTF File

[wixbot]

Light reported the following error:

LGHT0001 Error: Hexadecimal Value 0x00, os an invalid character when adding an RTF File, which was terminated with a NULL. This, possibly is an error.

The bug is the fact that the error message did not point to the line of code or to the RTF file.

In addition, possibly, terminating an RTF file with a null character might be acceptable. This, however, is a secondary issue.

7/31/2014 Update: It seems that the RTF standard does permit ending the file with a Null; right click to create a new RTF, the file has no Null. Open with Word Pad and save, and a null is added with a bit of formatting.

I am getting the same error when I try to call the light.exe to create the installer. I am trying to migrate the windows installer from the Wix Toolset3.8 to Wix Toolset4.0. I have updated the project files and the WixNetFxExtension and WixUIExtension.

When the light.exe command runs with its command line parameters it errors out with the following error msg:

light.exe(0,0): error LGHT0001: hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character.
Light does not indicate to me which file or line has the invalid character. Any help will greatly be appreciated.
